Paladin77 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 First I would like to thank the author and support team of this great software. As the topic says and quickly and simply I ask: Does all installed Virtual Drivers installed detrimentally affect the drive speeds or is it only the SPTD driver installed by software like Daemon Tools, Astroburn and Alcohol 120%? I am asking because I gave Daemon tools a 1 way ticket to the dumpster (I am quoting Cynthia here ) due to issues in Windows 7 in addition to slow and aberrant drive performance. I replaced it with VirtualClone Drive as my virtual disc utility only to find out it does install a driver of its own like shown below: As for Imgburn it doesn't really show any warnings or notable speed changes, but just to make sure when I recommend the imgburn Vclone combo I would like to ask, will this new VClone driver affect the drive performance? Thnx in Advance and sorry if this question has been asked before I searched but closest matches were regarding SPTD driver.

mmalves Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 As far as we know only SPTD can cause problems. Have you used their utility to remove SPTD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin77 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 (edited) Yes I did use their utility and since I know what I am doing I walked the extra mile to remove any traces of legacy SPTD driver in the Windows Registry. I do not get warnings in imgburn. I like Virtual Clone more since its easier to use and I can right click to quickly mount an image but as I said would like to know if its driver will have any effect.

Cynthia Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Both I and the author uses VCD and no issues found. You'll find the latest version of VCD here: http://forum.slysoft.com/forumdisplay.php?f=21 I used Neros tool in the past, but for some reason it's gone in later versions of the Nero suite.

Cynthia Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm not a big fan of certain brand of burners. Bought some of those in the past and they all ended up in that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin77 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Oh one Final question. I started imgburn today and checked for firmware update I found an update to the LG GT10N drive from 1.01 to 1.06 but that firmware according to firmware hq seems to belong to Dell. My laptop is an MSI should I ignore this update or what? Thnx Paladin77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The one on FirmwareHQ.com is A106, not 1.06, so it's probably incompatible with your burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Try to search the MSI web page, if there is one, it should be on their web page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
